How well would this work against tear gas?

Doubtful - tear gas attacks the eyes - not protected by this mask. Also gases will probably penetrate the fine particle filter. So all in all - NO - you will need a full mask respirator for gases.

I wouldn't do it. If you spill any kind of gas or similar chemical, it will liquify and smear right off.

This mask would be better than nothing. I'm no sure that any mask could stop chemical odors unless you had a separate air supply. This whole genre of masks are for dust and air borne particles of paints and chemicals. You would still get some fumes, although it would block out most of the tiny droplets. For the money, this will be your safest alternative unless your ready for hazmat procedures.

Would definitely work, just need a steady hand. However, it would most likely rub off.

It seems to me, that gas and germs always pass from high pressure side to low pressure side. Pulling a vacuum for short term or moderately long term storage would be OK, but for long term storage it would be self defeating.

Not entirely sure. It would likely work decently at filtering smoke or tear gas. You would need a full face mask obviously, but I wouldn't use it for that as real gas masks can be found cheaply enough. This is from the product description on this website, "This cartridge/filter is not for use in environments that are immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH)."

It will not work well for that. The hose is not long enough to extract gas from a car.

I can say it seems to attack strong odors such as cigarette smoke and clothes smells and even scents from oven smoke from oveburning. I feel it would be a worthwhile risk to try it on gasoline smells. If it does not work. it will work on many other household smells so it is worthwhile to have.

It seems to work fairly well. You actually have to push the button to release the pressure. I had trouble with the cap leaking when I carried the tank. Had to cut a gasket to put inside the cap with the o-ring. Be careful tightening hose clamp. It splits easily.

I would not recommend that. It would work, but very slowly! The container holds less than a cup. So it would take awhile to move 10 gallons of gas. But it works great for flushing brake lines, and it's other intended uses.

I doubt it would because the smell would dissipate into the air and be too weak to drive them away. But for the price it might be worth a try.

Will work well to keep bugs downwind from attacking but will not defend against buts that are upwind. On a clear, windless / breeze free day or evening it should work fairly well for a 15 - 20 foot radius. Best used under a tent covering, even with open walls. Cannot put in a pocket as this is actually burning butane fuel, doubt that a holster is a good idea either.

No the fluid would simply go through it and the big pieces of whatever would be caught. Not a water absorber, dry gas might be a solution?

Abosolutly. There are no harmful gasses in a fairly open application. I actually wear a protable version arounnd my waste when I am working outside. It works very well on a table or the ground with a group of people sitting around.

I would think probably so, but I only know my own experience, and that was with open fire. No good with gas.

I would not recommend it. I had a guy when I was in the police academy who's can exploded in his patrol car. Needless to say, clean up was fun.
